The Best Bars in the World for Lesbians

While it's true that quite a few lesbian nightlife institutions have shuttered in last decade - i.e. The Palms in West Hollywood, The Lex in San Francisco, Phase 1 in DC, Rubyfruit Jungle in New Orleans - it's fair to say that there are also quite a few that continue to hold their ground on the lesbian bar scene, both in dedicated or at least lesbian-popular brick and mortar spaces (listed here) or through weekly and monthly parties held at ladies night venues across cities (listed elsewhere). Even in compiling this list, we thought about breaking it down by region so as not to overwhelm you, dear reader, but here they are in all their glory. Long live the lesbian bar!
